Travel Tips for Exploring Kuala Lumpur: KLCC, TRX Exchange 106, KL Tower, Merdeka 118 & Pudu Ulu Park
Kuala Lumpur (KL) is a vibrant metropolis where modern skyscrapers meet rich cultural heritage. Whether it’s your first visit or a return trip, here are some handy travel tips to make the most of your experience, especially around the city’s iconic towers and parks.
⸻
1. KLCC (Kuala Lumpur City Centre)
• What to See: Petronas Twin Towers (tallest twin towers in the world), Suria KLCC mall, KLCC Park, and the Symphony Lake fountains.
• Travel Tip: Visit the Petronas Towers in the late afternoon and stay until nightfall to catch the fountain light show (usually around 8pm). The view from the Skybridge is worth booking in advance.
• Photography Tip: For the best photos, head to the KLCC Park area — you’ll get wide shots with palm trees in the frame and fewer crowds early in the morning.
⸻
2. TRX Exchange 106
• What to See: One of the tallest buildings in Southeast Asia, Exchange 106 is the centerpiece of the new financial district — The Exchange TRX.
• Travel Tip: Visit The Exchange TRX Mall for upscale shopping and dining, and explore the rooftop park known as The Exchange TRX Park — it offers fantastic skyline views with KLCC and TRX in the frame.
• Best Time: Sunset or twilight for golden hour shots with KL’s skyline glowing in the background.
⸻
3. KL Tower (Menara Kuala Lumpur)
• What to See: Observation deck, Sky Deck, and the revolving Atmosphere 360 restaurant.
• Travel Tip: Go for the Sky Deck instead of the indoor viewing platform — the open-air views are unbeatable. On clear days, you’ll even catch a glimpse of the distant Genting Highlands.
• Fun Fact: It’s actually taller than Petronas Towers in terms of elevation since it’s built on a hill (Bukit Nanas).
⸻
4. Merdeka 118 (Viewpoint Only)
• What to See: Currently not fully open to the public, but this architectural marvel — the second tallest building in the world — dominates KL’s skyline.
• Viewpoint Tip: The best views of Merdeka 118 can be seen from Pudu Ulu Park or even certain angles in the Kampung Attap or Jalan Loke Yew areas.
• Photography Tip: Use a zoom lens or drone (if permitted) for architectural shots — the diamond-shaped spire stands out beautifully during sunrise.
⸻
5. Pudu Ulu Park (Taman Rekreasi Pudu Ulu)
• What to See: A serene urban park with jogging tracks, shaded trees, and a local vibe — less touristy, perfect for an early morning walk or jog.
• Hidden Gem: This is one of the best off-the-beaten-path spots to view Merdeka 118 from afar, especially around sunrise or golden hour.
